Roseanne Barr Reunites Daughter Placed for Adoption Who Mistook Her for Goldie Hawn

Roseanne Barr, now 72, has shared the story of her daughter Brandi Brown, whom she gave up for adoption when she was 18. For most of her childhood, Brandi believed her biological mother was Goldie Hawn due to their resemblance and the fact that she only knew her mother was a famous Jewish Hollywood figure. Brandi discovered the truth around age 17 when Barr's former boyfriend, Tom Arnold, leaked the story to the National Enquirer, which then contacted Brandi. Upon learning the truth, Brandi was initially surprised but recognized the similarity when she saw photos of Barr. The two reunited shortly after, along with Brandi's adoptive mother, and have maintained a close relationship since. Barr credits the National Enquirer for facilitating their reunion and expressed gratitude despite the unconventional circumstances.
